Collection thread. Reliable* new car. If I make it there

[DoctorRetro]

Off on a collection mission tomorrow. 

Transport is this - could be a bad idea, but will take it in stages. It is going to end up somewhere where it will get fixed, so it's a positive move. Albeit not within my ownership, but that may change again by next year. I will get back to R8 ownership again, I'm sure.

Feel free to start your guesses. 

First clue, I haven't owned one before. 

 

[dave j]

Good luck for tomorrow! Hope it works out OK mate. Something Japanese?

1. Is it a Yaris? 

2. Why isn't it a Yaris?

Chodspeed doctor hope this one is kinder to you. 

[Jim Bell]

Good news man. 

If it's not a Yaris I'm gonna post a pic of Triggers arse. 

 

Just for the crack.

Wheres triggers crack gone.....!?!?

[Eyersey1234]

Chodspeed for tomorrow. I'll play the guessing game, is it French? 

[DoctorRetro]

Breakfast 

Yes that's a slice of my homemade cake. It was an experimental Victoria sponge with caramel flavour, that hasn't been well received, so I guess I'll end up eating most of it... 

[paulplom]

Looks fine to me. I'll have some. Is that coffee or tea with black bits in it?

[Spurious]

A Micra. Not a K11.

And that cake looks decent. Going to get some now

Coffee, just not stirred properly. Lidl's finest Gold Roast instant. 

[paulplom]

Good luck mate. You deserve a bit.

[NorthernMonkey]

You sure that’s not K seal in the coffee?

[drewd]

That cake looks fine to me. Good luck with the new motor.

Aaaah thought it was literally the Soviet/Eastern European way of coffee... Dump a tea spoon of grounds in and just add hot water to the cup. Drink when the grounds settle down.

[taxi paul]

Something Asian.  You say reliable so it's got to be. Toyota, nissan ,kia, Hyundai, suzuki or maybe even honda. Anything but a lover. Bit of casual racism there for the half asleep amongst us. Good luck with whatever it is. 

[Timewaster]

I'm sure it's tea leaves that are meant to predict stuff, but can anyone else see the grim reaper in the coffee foam?

 

Joking BTW. Good luck sir.

[DoctorRetro]

Off we go. 

Poo count 1

Nasty toxic farts - many. 

Long suffering girlfriend accompanying me? Check. 

Spare water? Yep. 

Tools? Also yep. 

Auto aid? Of course.

I hoping the asterisk beside reliable isn't ironic and we don't get a Peugeot 307 or something.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I’m going for a reliable car.  Like an e60 automatic with an N47 engine...

[skattrd]

Is the coolant cap slightly loose to stop it over pressurising and popping something?

This advice was given to me by the esteemed Mr_Bickle of this Parish … I got home from the arse end of Belgium  like this in the Mercedes we don't talk about.

[DoctorRetro]

12 miles in. First issue. I'd put the header tank cap on with holes in it, and it has basically thrown almost all the water out of the top. Filled up 2 litres, just giving it a few mins to cool. I've put the unventilated cap back on and backed off the screw on a hose clip to give it somewhere to vent. Wish me luck. 

[loserone]

I hope this is the old broken car, not the new reliable Japanese one

[paulplom]

With his luck it wouldn't suprise me.
